I am a registered, certified clinical evaluator and treatment provider for DUI/DWI Cases in the State of Georgia. Clinical DUI Evaluations require the use of approved, registered professionals. We are listed here. I offer online/ in-person service options. Through partnership and no judgment, I will help you navigate the stress of evaluation or complete recommended interventions. If you are assigned a general substance evaluation, and there is a potential legal component coming, it is best to use this list to avoid repeating an evaluation and fines. If you are looking for another type of evaluation, check here.
Don't fall for the cheapest rate on google or "rushed" services. You should be billed at least the state minimum of $150 for the assessment interview, and discuss potential fees for rushed deadlines, additional documentation and follow-up needs/information. Evaluators should ask many questions to ensure you receive the correct assessment tools. You want to do this one time, the right way, for peace of mind and finances.
If an evaluator is willing to do your evaluation with no drug/alcohol screening, or without receiving the results of screening you are already doing, my recommendation is to find someone else. We are taking liability by rating your risks and needs. I would never trust an evaluation that provides results without screening.
Many clients call and say: "I just have to get an evaluation." This is almost NEVER accurate!
Evaluations are recommended when someone believes a behavior was related to an issue or problem that CAN be helped and prevented by intervention instead of punishment. Your goal is NOT to be "cleared" or "pass" a test. Evaluators provide diagnosis, recommendations, or evidence that neither is relevant. The deadlines given to you usually include the evaluation AND any treatment/interventions to be completed, so do not delay!
